Lawyers argue over nurses' 'blood money.' (British nurses convicted of murder in Saudi Arabia)

There is considerable tension surrounding the cases of British nurses Lucille McLauchlin and Deborah Parry, who have been convicted in Saudi Arabia of the murder of Yvonne Gilford, a colleague. McLauchlan has been sentenced to 500 lashes and eight years in jail, while the fate of Parry remains uncertain. It has emerged that the victim's brother has not after all agreed to waive his right to demand the death penalty. UK Foreign Secretary Robin Cook has denounced the possibility of flogging, while Dr Ghazi Algosaibi, the Saudi Ambassador to the UK, has defended his country's legal system.

Anatomy of a brutal murder that ruled out clemency plea

Article Abstract:

Prime minister John Major has been advised by the Foreign Office that there are no grounds on which he can make an appeal for clemency on behalf of Nick Ingram, who was involved in a murder in 1983 and now faces the death penalty in Georgia. Ingram's lawyers dispute a large part of the evidence, claiming that he blacked out on the day of the crime and that an accomplice could have been involved. It would have been very difficult politically for the prime minister to intervene, even in the case of a less brutal crime.
